Forums - Gaming - Modern Warfare 2 cost revealed

But the returns are going to be nearly 1 bln in revenue...more than making up for the cost.

Regardless of cost, I somehow think they'll manage!



The Budget was 200 million, I doubt they used all of it.

They spent half of it and then Gabe Newell stole the rest and spent it on fudge.

They didn't advertise the game that much....

I think it's around 100 million. Gotta be.

If it weren't, nobody else would be making any money!

GT5 is costing 60mill isnt it? i doubt MW2 cost 50mill its the same engine isnt it?



So it had a marketing budget of about $150 million? That's crazy stuff.

I saw more L4D2 ads and even billboards yet they only spent a tiny fraction of that.



these fuckers(activision), it is pure bullshit, 50 million and the graphics are not up to date ? i woold be surprised if they spent 30 million on this project
get serious activision



$40 to $50 million? That does seem high. We know the game was in development for two years. Does anyone know the size of the team that worked on this game?
